About

Michelle Vandepas Publisher | Speaker | Leadership • Books • Visibility I help leaders turn their message into authority, action, and measurable impact. As Founder of GracePoint Publishing, I partner with visionary leaders, authors, and entrepreneurs who want to use books as a platform for influence, legacy, and visibility. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, storytelling, and strategic publishing — where clarity of message meets real-world execution. Through my Divine & Dangerous Leadership framework, I guide leaders to claim their edge, speak with conviction, and build bodies of work that outlive them. I am known for blending practical business strategy with direct, no-nonsense insight that moves people from idea to action. As a TEDx speaker and retreat leader, I speak on stages that value depth, courage, and results — not inspiration alone. My keynotes and workshops are designed to shift how people think, communicate, and lead. Experience Founder & CEO — GracePoint Publishing, LLC Colorado Springs, Colorado I have built a publishing company that supports authors in creating professionally published books, strong platforms, and long-term visibility. Our focus is on strategic positioning, distribution, and lasting impact — not vanity projects.
